More than you ever wanted to know...

About CLOTH DIAPERS!!! Yes, we (or I should say I) cloth diaper Libby on the most part. I've been putting her in them during the day and while we're at home. And it's been working out really well! I'm actually going to start using them when we go out too. They're really not as difficult and gross as you might initially believe. There are a lot of great resources out there so I'll share those with you as well as telling you what works for us.
First of all: why? For me the main reasons are economic and health. Disposable diapers have a lot of chlorine and other chemicals in them (which is why they're so absorbent) and that is not good for a baby to be exposed to on a long-term basis. They're so much cheaper because you only have to buy them once! And they can be used for multiple children. I'm not sure what the exact numbers are but I've heard estimates that it can cost up to $2000 to diaper a child! So far I've spent about $200 on my cloth diapering supply and I'm hoping to get away with only spending about $50-100 more as she grows. Also, a lot of people are really concerned about the environment these days and honestly that's not one of my main reasons but it is a perk. It takes 500 years for a disposable diaper to disintegrate in a landfill!
There are definite pro's and con's to cloth diapering. It is more involved than simply using 'sposies as you have to wash and put away the diapers vs. simply tossing them out. Some people are grossed out by having to mess with the poop, but I really don't think it's that big of a deal. Breastfed baby's poop isn't too bad, although I'm not sure how grossed out I'll be when she moves on to solids! Also, babies who are cloth diapered tend to potty train quicker and easier because they can feel the dampness of a wet or dirty diaper more than in disposables. You do have to change CD's more often, and this is why I put Libby in a disposable at night. Maybe I'm lazy but I really don't want to have to change her in the middle of the night! Maybe I'll get braver with putting her in them at night and I'll just stuff them with more padding! :)
My set-up includes both pre-folds and one size fits all, all in one diapers. I'll explain that more and include a bunch of resources in the end.
I have 24 pre-folds in small (yellow) from Green Mountain Diapers and I also bought several covers from them. I really like the Bummis Super Brite but I only have two of those. I also have two Litewraps in sz. newborn (although these still fit Libby). A couple Super Whisper Wraps and a couple that aren't on that webpage anymore. That is my pre-fold and cover system and it works really well. You just change out the pre-fold each time it's soiled but the cover doesn't need to be washed every time, just when it gets dirty or every few wears. These should last Libby for a couple more months, I'm guessing. I don't think she's going to outgrow these diapers or covers any time soon.
Here are a few pics of Libby in her pre-folds...



Aren't they cute? As you can see, I have the pre-fold fastened with a Snappi, a great little invention. Although a lot of people forgo fasteners completely and just rely on the cover to hold the diaper in place. I like the snappi because it keeps the diaper snug and secure in place.
I also have about 9 Bum Genius AIO (all in one) diapers from Target. These are great because they fit snugly, are adorable, and grow with the baby. Since they're expandable you only need one size. They're also quite a bit more expensive so I was blessed with these as gifts. Although I found one on clearance randomly for $5 one day! Hasn't happened since then though.
The AIO Bum Genius diapers are a slightly different set-up but roughly the same idea. Here are a few pics of Libby in one.




As far as accessories and cleaning go... I have a normal trash can in her room with a waterproof liner that I put the dirty diapers in. I usually wash them every couple of days so they're not in there too long. I have some cloth wipes I made from cutting up and hemming some flannel receiving blankets (from the thrift store) and those work great. I keep the wipes in the bathroom and on the way to change her I just grab one and get it wet with warm water. I also have a diaper "potion" in a small squirt bottle that I can spray on the wipe to get her lil toosh nice and clean.
If the diaper is just wet I simply toss it into the pail but if it's messy I spray it off in the bathroom with this. Tim was able to easily install this on the back of our toilet. Then I put the rinsed off diaper into the pail. If the cover didn't get messy I just drape it over her crib to air dry for next time. If it did get a little poop on it I rinse it off and put it with her dirty clothes. You don't want to put the liners in with the cloth diapers for an extended period of time because it can effect the water proof liner.
When I wash a load of diapers I dump them all in and first do a hot rinse load. Then I wash them in hot with a small amount of All Free and Clear detergent. If they seem to need it I wash or rinse them one more time. (some people do a rinse with vinegar and I'm going to try that next time.) When they're clean I put the diapers in the dryer and dry them on a very hot setting. I do not dry the liners or the bag, they should just air dry. (The Bum Genius covers can be dried in the dryer if need be.) In the summer I am going to line-dry the diapers, and the sun will bleach them out nicely.
That is our system in a nutshell!! There are probably millions of different ways you can cloth diaper your babe. I think the pre-folds are the cheapest although I splurged on the nicer covers. (I really like the ones with the gussets on the sides so they're nice and tight - makes for minimal leakage). It has not been too difficult and I love the feeling of knowing every time I put in her a cloth diaper I'm saving us about $.20. That will really add up over her lifetime!
